Description

Reached out about a application on sent in for a job. I am currently applying for jobs, so it made sense. Said they had openings and had me choose a position I'd be interested in. Redirected me to Zoom to contact their "Hiring Manager/Chief Recruitment Officer"; Mrs. Victoria A. Gaines. I then sent her a message on Zoom with the provided email (of "Victoria's"). Asked me interview-like questions, elaborations and such. then said asked if the bank I used accepted mobile direct deposits. She would then send me a picture of a check to direct deposit "workplace materials", printer, fax machine, coffee mug warmer, etc. That came off very strange to me so I looked up the initial number that Mrs. Laura A. Hall, from Hilton Hotels and Resorts, reach me from on your website and confirmed it was a hiring scam through "Hilton". I then called "Victoria" out that it was a scam, she denied it, then left the conversation on Zoom.
